Great! Thanks for that. It works fine in bothe XEmacs21 and Emacs20.
Some comments:
1) Put the following fields in the control file:
Conflicts: dpkg-dev (< 1.7.2)
Depends: emacsen
2) You are using a upstream version number equal to "1". You should ask
the upstream maintainers (Peter Galbraith, I guess) about their
preference.

If nobody else step up, I will sponsor this package and make it into woody.
